Homeless No More
I found my place yesterday. I moved in today.
It's a nice place. If only I knew about it earlier on that it would have saved me from the hunting, the sleepless nights and the blisters.
I'm staying at UQAM residences -University from Quebec in Montreal (after translating to English). So it's something like how Auck uni students go and stay at Wellesley student apartments. HAha!! And it feels a bit wellesley-ish as well where there's a living room, a kitchen and then individual rooms. But.... wellesley is bigger and it's close to auck uni. Here, it's 20 mins walk to mcgill. It's all good tho as the metro is only 5 mins walk. Heheheehe... would be good during winter.
Didn't think that we could stay at other universities' residences. Plus, this place did not come up in google during my search because..... it's in french! It's a french university where everything is taught in french. Hence, most people who stays here speaks french and maybe a lil bit of english or not at all! Hardly any parasites from Mcgill stays here. Only know 2 others i.e. evangeline and the other guy that told us about this place.
Very happy with this place. Price also quite alright. $490 a month but we have to buy our own bedsheets and kitchen utensils. Thank goodness for family friends :D Lovely, kind, helpful and nice family friends who's gonna lend me some sheets and pillows, kettle and a toaster. Ahhhh!!! And friday, they are gonna take me out for dinner!
I'm close to being broke right now as I had 600 CAD cash with me when I came. Now have 50 left. Used them to pay for backpackers, food, sim card and my accommodation for the next two weeks as they count the rental starting from middle of the month. Can't bank in my bank draft till next Tuesday and it takes 5 working days to process. So basically I have 50 bucks to survive for more than a week. Will of course borrow some money from evangeline but trying not to. Hehehe...
Alrighteyyy.. time to sleep. It was a long day today. Tomorrow will have to register for my papers and then it's....... house cleaning day!!!!
